Mabel Barrett Fitzgerald EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.

— Emma Goldman

Mabel Barrett Fitzgerald Early Childhood Center is funded by the NYC Early Learn Program servicing children ages 2-5 years old. We serve families who live in the Amsterdam Houses and Amsterdam Addition, as well as families who live and work near the Center. More than 90% of the families served are Hispanic or African-American. Our staff nurture the social-emotional, cognitive, and physical needs of every child in preparation for their transition into kindergarten and life beyond preschool. Mabel Barrett Fitzgerald staff use an ever-evolving curriculum to create a unique learning experience and help every child develop their full potential.
